Racism Has a Different Meaning for Black Men and Women

That's so true!  Racism affects how Black men and women perceive it gender wise.

Winnipeg mayor gets choked up after magazine calls city 'Canada’s most racist' | CTV News

After a national magazine said that Winnipeg is “arguably Canada’s most racist city,” its mayor is promising to address the problem.

“My wife is of Ukrainian heritage; my family is Métis,” said Mayor Brian Bowman at a news conference, where he appeared to be on the verge of tears.

“I want my boys to be as proud of both those family lines.”

Ernie Banks Passes Away!

Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks has passed away.

This weekend marks the death of America's favorite baseball player. Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks has passed away. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Ernie Banks.

Banks was a Major League Baseball (MLB) shortstop and first baseman for 19 seasons, 1953 through 1971. He spent his entire MLB career with the Chicago Cubs. He was a National League (NL) All-Star for 11 seasons, playing in 14 All-Star Games.

Banks was born and raised in Dallas. He entered Negro league baseball in 1950, playing for the Kansas City Monarchs. He served in the US military for two years and returned to the Monarchs before beginning his major league career in September 1953. He made his first MLB All-Star Game appearance in 1955. Banks received back-to-back National League Most Valuable Player awards in 1958 and 1959. He hit .313 with 47 home runs (HR) and 129 runs batted in (RBI) in 1958. The next season he hit .304 with 45 HR and 143 RBI in 1959.

During the 1961 season, Banks was transferred to left field followed by a final position change to first base. Cubs manager Leo Durocher became frustrated with Banks in the mid-1960s, saying that the slugger's performance was faltering, but he felt that he was unable to remove Banks from the lineup due to the star's popularity among Cubs fans. Banks was a player-coach from 1967 through 1971. In 1970, he hit his 500th career home run. In 1972, he joined the Cubs coaching staff after his retirement as a player.

Banks was active in the Chicago community during and after his tenure with the Cubs. He founded a charitable organization, became the first black Ford Motor Company dealer in the United States, and made an unsuccessful bid for a local political office. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977. In 1999, he was named to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. In 2013, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his contribution to sports. Banks lived in the Los Angeles area.

Banks married his first wife Mollye Ector in 1953. He had proposed to her in a letter from Germany and they married when he returned to the US. He filed for divorce two years later. The couple briefly reconciled in early 1959. By that summer, they agreed on a divorce settlement that would pay $65,000 to Ector in lieu of alimony.

Shortly thereafter, Banks eloped with Eloyce Johnson. Within a year, the couple had twin sons. They had a daughter four years after that.

Banks ran for alderman in Chicago in 1962. He lost the election and later said, "People knew me only as a baseball player. They didn't think I qualified as a government official and no matter what I did I couldn't change my image... What I learned, was that it was going to be hard for me to disengage myself from my baseball life and I would have to compensate for it after my playing days were over."

Ector filed suit against Ernie in 1963 for failing to make payments on a life insurance policy as agreed upon in their divorce settlement.

Played for 19 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, Ernie Banks. He appears with Hank Aaron.

In 1966, Banks worked for Seaway National Bank in the offseason and enrolled in a banking correspondence course. He also bought into several business ventures during his playing career, including a gas station. Though he had been paid modestly in comparison to other baseball stars, Banks had taken the advice of Wrigley and invested much of his earnings. He later spent time working for an insurance company and for New World Van Lines. Banks began building assets that would be worth an estimated $4 million by the time he was 55 years old.

Banks and Bob Nelson became the first black owners of a U.S. Ford Motor Company dealership in 1967. Nelson had been the first non-white commissioned officer in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II; he operated an import car dealership before the venture with Banks.

Banks was appointed to the board of directors of the Chicago Transit Authority in 1969.

On a trip to Europe, Banks was able to visit the Pope, who presented him with a medal that became a proud possession.

President Barack Obama and Ernie Banks. The president and First Lady Michelle Obama both send their condolences to the family of Ernie Banks.

Banks was divorced from Eloyce in 1981. She received several valuable items from his playing career as part of their divorce settlement, including his 500th home run ball. She sold the items not long after the divorce. In 1984, he married a woman named Marjorie. In 1993, Marjorie was part of a group that met with MLB executives about race relations in baseball after allegations of racial slurs surfaced against Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott.

Banks married Liz Ellzey in 1997 and Hank Aaron served as his best man.

In late 2008, Banks and Ellzey adopted an infant daughter.

Banks's nephew, Bob Johnson, was a major league catcher and first baseman for the Texas Rangers between 1981 and 1983. His great nephew, Acie Law, is a professional basketball player who attended Texas A&M University before playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Conservative Outrage Over YouTube Star GloZell Meeting Obama!

CNN host gave YouTube star GloZell some advice. Some haters have peanut butter and jealousy. The racist right aims at her after she had an opportunity to meet the president. Of course, they're mad that he ignored Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a conservative warmongering agitator.

The racist right and its allies once again have their usual freakout over President Barack Obama. This time they're complaining about the president's interaction with some of YouTube's viral stars. They claim that it's unbecoming of the office for him to waste time with people who sit in their underwear trying to be famous.

There were three viral YouTube stars who got the opportunity to meet the president. Of course, one woman managed to rise their antennas.

Loving the @YouTube live interview with Obama - @GloZell was amazing! https://t.co/wfRPO5YVsA

I kept hearing YouTube sensation GloZell being mentioned on conservative agitator radio programs.

The entertainer runs a YouTube page and it pulls a high view count.

Not saying that I'm not her but I wish I was. She pulls a healthy amount of subscribers.

Because the more popular you become, the more haters come forth.

Rob Lowe is feuding with a YouTube celebrity who interviewed the president.

When that old fart on talk radio was whining about President Barack Obama snubbing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his Congressional invite to speak, he brought up GloZell in his tirade.

The controversial prime minister of Israel is hated by most world leaders. It's due to the prime minister's stubborn views towards allowing the Palestinian people to create an independent state.

The United States is an ally of Israel but its starting to wane. The U.S. and allied foreign diplomats are trying to work out an agreement with Iran. The Republicans are threatening to derail the path to peace because the conservative agitators support Netanyahu's hateful agenda.

Actor Rob Lowe decided to throw poop into the mix. He went to the social networks to vent off about this. GloZell hits him back. She thanks Lowe for mentioning her.

She even made note that his spelling is almost as bad as his acting!

Hold up. Is it true that a woman who eats cereal out of a bathtub gets to meet with the President and the Prime Minister of Isreal does not?

You heard this, these agitators support a foreign leader over their own American president. They just mad that the president wants to reach out to those who felt that he's not open enough with the public.

They rather see him take orders from a foreign leader who may lead us into World War III.

The old fart complains about the president having the time to interview a YouTube celebrity over this old fart's fuck buddy Benjamin Netanyahu.

They obsess over an entertainer eating cereal out of a bathtub. See how the freedom of speech is used. It's only good when they are allowed to criticize the president. But when we criticize them for being inclusive, racist, ignorant and out of touch with the changing demographics, they throw that we're the ones creating racial angst.

See their loyalties are with leaders who cause a majority of the crisis in the world.

An actor who has plays the role of a cheater on his wife might as well be a sex crazed lunatic. He was the one who sank Michael Dukakis presidential campaign after he was messing around with female campaign staffers. It's a damn shame that Lowe has turned conservative. He was a talented actor.

He grew up in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio with his brother fellow actor Chad.

GloZell keep doing your thing. You are beautiful and bold. Fuck the haters and make that money!

Ohio Mayor Blames Blacks For Cop Morale!

Norwood, Ohio mayor popped off about race-baiting Black leaders.

Norwood, Ohio is located about six miles from Downtown Cincinnati. It's an enclave that's surrounded by Cincinnati and is located around Ohio State Route 562 (known as the Lateral) and Interstate 71.

The mayor of the city has generated national attention after he wrote a letter singling out race-baiting Black leaders and cowardly lawmakers for cop morale being down.

And the defiant mayor spoke to the junk food media saying that he's not a racist and he's just showing "love" to his police force.

Post by Norwood Police Department.

Thomas Williams the mayor of the Norwood is facing a controversy. He sent a letter to his police chief and urged vigilance but happen to slip the Black in it.

In 2001, Timothy Thomas was an unarmed man who was gunned down by former Cincinnati officer Stephen Roach. That sparked a week of riots in the city and an ongoing boycott of the city.

This mayor Williams needs to understand that the issue is real.

Norwood residents are calling for the mayor to formally apologize or get the fuck out of the office.

THOMAS F. WILLIAMS, MAYOR
5701 VARELMAN COURT
NORWOOD, OH  45212
HOME: 731-3053
CITY: 458-4501
mayor@norwood-ohio.com

His freedom of speech was intrusive and inclusive of most Republicans. Just in case you want to actually know what political affiliation this clown is, Williams is a Democrat.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that despite the firestorm of controversy his letter created on social media, the mayor would "never turn a blind eye" to an officer who betrays the public's trust, Police Chief William Kramer said in response.

Norwood, Ohio at Linden Pointe. The area Montgomery Road (U.S. 22, Ohio State Routes 3 and 561) near Ohio State Route 562 known as the Norwood Lateral.

The Facebook post generated almost 200 comments since Wednesday.

While many of those 200 comments backed the mayor and applauded his support of the police department, others said the comments added fuel to the fire of racial tension while being antagonistic and insensitive.

Kramer posted a response to some of the criticism Thursday.

"In no way is he saying that he would blindly support us," Kramer said in the post.

"There were also many comments about Norwood's history. That seems to be (a) ghost that no matter how hard we try, we cannot get past. Regardless, we will continue to provide the exemplary service we always have and we also will continue to build and strengthen our relationship with the citizens and visitors to Norwood."
